Important note to Spot Check Readers -
YourWinnetka will go on, but the Spot Checks you've become familiar with over the past 6+ years, will look a lot different. We started YW 6+ years ago with the intention of bringing you in the story, the backstory, and where to find more. Our goal was to teach you to fish. We’d tee it up, you’d take the handoff. And boy, you sure did….
Everything has a life cycle and oit’s time to start a new one. I leave you in good hands - yours. As a frequent reader of Spot Checks, you now know how it’s done.
Spot Checks™. Quick reads covering the important issues of Winnetka. What's up, what it means, how it will change your life. And what you need to know to make our Village work for you. No bias. No judgement. No need. Subscribe now.
Collect. Distill. Connect. Our writers, editors and staff have spent literally decades on the Village's Advisory Boards, the Caucus, and almost every civic organization in Winnetka. They know what's out there, how to access it, and how the pieces fit together. Meet the Team.
We spend weeks researching each Spot Check, and writing them up in a way that works for both skimmers and geeks. Spot Checks and how to read them.
And We Will Share
We expect you to do the same. Contact us with anything - your insights, your information, your concerns, questions. If it's on your mind, it should be on ours.
